Finally, what's the logic behind characters appearing in multiple categories with different roles? For example, a player can be both an attacker and a supporter. How does this design affect the game's balance? How does it influence both strategy and diversity?
Why do some characters play different roles in the game?

Ever wondered why some characters can switch roles like juggling fire? For example, in *League of Legends*, champions like Kayle can be both a fighter and a support depending on how players build her. This design keeps the game fresh and forces you to adapt your strategy during matches.
Thanks for sharing. I wonder if characters being so versatile makes the gameplay appealing or just confusing, let's see.
It all depends on the role your bet is on and the abilities of the character itself. For example, Symmetra in *Overwatch* might seem like an aggressive character, but once you place down her teleporter, she transforms into a support role for the team. The best thing to do is to study the game's guide before you start playing, so you understand the character's abilities and can figure out the most efficient way to use them within the team.
This situation comes up a lot in RPG and MOBA-style games. Like you mentioned in *League of Legends*, some champions having both attack damage and support abilities really muddies things. I’ve noticed that while playing, you sometimes have to switch builds based on the player type, which actually adds variety to the strategy. Since players have this flexibility, the meta becomes more fluid.
These hybrid characters also have a big impact on game balance. For example, in *Overwatch*, a tank character can be built for both offense and defense, which improves team synergy. But sometimes, when these characters get too strong, balance patches come into play. Having flexible roles across different categories doesn’t break the game’s dynamic—it just adds more depth.
